[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s up with all the posters who had mothers who were either sahms or teachers?! Were there no other options back then?[/quote] Seriously! Are these posters all in their 50s and 60s?? I’m 35 and my mom was an attorney. I went to a day camp.[/quote] Im 33. My mom was a teacher (interestingly, my sister and I became teachers too). Why is it surprising that a lot of families had SAHP or educator parents?[/quote] Because one generation of SAHMs just isn’t enough mommy war fodder for some people. [/quote] People look down on teaching because it's considered a pink collar job. Basically, anything that lots of women do or have done is valued less by our culture, including teaching or staying home with your kids. The PP upthread is espousing the common misogynist misconception that only women without options would have a pink-collar occupation or choose to SAH.[/quote]
